      A clumsy imitation

      This movie is a parody of the movie «Nahang Anbar» by Saman Moghadam and starring Reza Attaran

      You only see tasteless items that are making fun of the 70s and 80s in Iran and have nothing to do with each other. The film does not have a clear concept, the audience does not know that Pard's film is making fun of the suffocating atmosphere of the Pahlavi regime and that after the 1979 revolution, Iran will be freed from suffocation, or that Iran was a free and happy country during the Pahlavi regime, and after the revolution it will become an unfortunate country. Film editing is superficial.

      In the first half of the film, the editing is superficial and gives an artificial and unreal feeling to the viewer The director of the film does not observe the smallest principles of direction and the humor writing is ridiculous and repetitive The only positive point is the acting of "Bahram Afshari" in the character of Ismail I dare to say that it is better than Reza Attaran's acting in Amber Whale Not recommended at all.

      Without content and with political goals

      A film that was obviously commissioned by a certain political group and is very weak in all aspects of filmmaking, and even after a few minutes, the Iranian audience, who is familiar with the details, does not have the patience to watch the rest of the film. The Islamic government of Iran has sponsored it, given it an award and provided the cinema box office for it to make the achievements of the previous government of Iran appear very shallow and meaningless. Many symbols that can be seen in this film, including the genre of music and the way of dressing, are prohibited in current Iran, and even making a film in this style requires special permits.

      Fossil: A Lighthearted Journey with Deep Footprints

      Fossil strikes a delightful balance between keeping you entertained and leaving you with something to ponder. It's a light-hearted journey throughout, punctuated by moments that carry a surprising depth of meaning.

      The film portrays everyday Iranians navigating life's complexities with a refreshing dose of humor and resilience. Their stories, while often lighthearted, subtly weave in themes of social change, personal growth, and the importance of staying calm amidst the ever-evolving landscape of their lives.

      If you're looking for a film that will entertain you with its humor and charm, while also sparking thoughtful reflection, Fossil is definitely worth checking out.

      Hilarious

      It's a full of comedy scene but it's not reasonable for other viewer from another countries because it just about Iran and Iran history , The film have different view about a man that changes his life during of revolution , war and some of this crucial moment in Iran , everything isn't good , some scenes are really boring and repeatedly used in many movies especially Persian movies .

      I hope this director make another movie as good as this and better than all previous work who did in cinema . Iran situation is not good for any genres , so we just have comedy , Drama and war movies , we need creative director that show history , culture , art and ... to world not poverty, divorce and suicide ...

      ridiculous!

      It's sad that this movie became so popular in Iran. 2hrs of a film that is supposed to be comedy but you don't even laugh for 5 minutes! Even the acting was poor. Elahe Hesari was the only one who acted well. The story is just stupid. Our people must have lowered their standards that they're interested in these type of movies. I think the only reason that it became popular is the nostalgia that it gives of old days in Iran otherwise it's just a waste of time.

      And the ending! The ending was just terrible!

      The movie is just full of loud noises that gives you headache, jokes that aren't funny and bad acting. It's a torture to watch it in the cinema.
